i have a 2GB MicroSD (not MicroSDHC) card from Sandisk that i bought for my cell phone, and for some reason, i can only get it to use 1GB of it. i put it in the phone and use the phone's built-in format option, and although it shows a total capacity of 1985024 KB, it shows that 995244 KB is used, leaving 989780 KB free.
when i put the card in my 51-in-1 flash card reader, then go into "diskmgmt.msc", it shows 989MB available and 989MB unallocated. however, it does not give me the option to delete the partitions and allocate the entire space into a single partition.
the phone formats it in the FAT file system (a.k.a., FAT16), which has a maximum capacity of 2GB, so it should be able to utilize the entire capacity of the drive.
anyone know any way i can utilize the entire capacity of this card, even if my phone won't be able to use it all?
